Team Sky's Michal Kwiatkowski has described winning the E3 Harlebeke race as an amazing feeling.
Speaking to his Team Sky team's press office, the Pole who held off Peter Sagan to win said: "I've come really close to victory a few times this year and have been aiming for that since the start of the season. To get it at such a prestigious Classic is an amazing feeling.
"The team rode amazingly today - all eight guys - and I felt so protected as a leader. I was really happy that I could finish it off so well.
"You have to believe you can win. I struggled to hold Peter's wheel at first but quickly got into a rhythm. It's not an easy thing to beat a world champion but I'm really thankful to him. We worked well together at the front trying to protect the gap to the chasers."
